Summary
The ideal operating conditions to enable cardiac surgery are a bloodless and motionless field. This requires both cardiac arrest and the drainage of blood from the heart. In order to provide these conditions a separate means of maintaining nutrient supply to the rest of the body is needed. In addition, the heart must be prevented from becoming sufficiently ischaemic as to infarct previously viable muscle.
